Egypt in the Age of the Pharaohs
Friday, January 15, 2010 7:00 p.m.
$25.00 for Grimsby Museum Members/ $30.00 for non-members
For many people, ancient Egypt is a land of mysteries. The
magnificent achievements of the ancient inhabitants of the Nile Valley
intrigue us and raise many questions:
How have the bodies of the pharaohs survived for millennia?
What did the ancient Egyptians eat?
When did they invent hieroglyphs?
Where have the treasures in the tombs of the kings and queens gone?
Who did the Egyptians think invented medicine and science - and still
had time to design pyramids?
Join us for an introduction to this fascinating "antique land" with
noted Egyptologist Dr. Lyn Green. Lyn Green received her doctorate in
Egyptology from the University of Toronto and has taught at the Royal
Ontario Museum and various universities in Ontario. Dr. Green is
currently the national President of The Society for the Study of
Egyptian Antiquities. We look forward to welcoming her to the Grimsby
Museum for an informative and entertaining talk in conjunction with
our current exhibition "Egypt: Gift of the Nile". Following the
presentation by Lyn Green you will have the opportunity to tour the
exhibition, EGYPT, GIFT OF THE NILE" and then enjoy refreshments.
Limited number of tickets are available. Please contact the Museum
office to reserve your tickets.
